Thank you

Thank you all for coming to celebrate Ron this weekend.  He truly was an inspiration to us all.  The world is not as complete without him here and life will always be lacking a little extra fun from now on.  As you all know, he added so much to any event, any life and any day. Thank you all who were able to attend and thank you all for your continued prayers and thoughts.  He was such a special man, friend, son, brother, but most of all, a special husband and dad.  Forever, he will be missed.

Memorial Service

Our family will be holding a memorial service for Ron Carey on Saturday, March 16th at 3 PM.  It will be held at Trinity Covenant Church (5020 Liberty Rd S, Salem, OR 97306).  Immediately following the service we will have some refreshments and cookies.  

In lieu of flowers, please provide donations to Willamette Valley Hospice or the Phil Knight Cancer Institute.  

Important Note:
Running was always one of our dad's favorite activities.  Therefore, we thought there couldn't be a better way to honor him than to wear our running shoes to the service.  Please join us in honoring our dad by lacing up your own running shoes.

After the events at the church, we will be having an informal Open House at our parent's house to enjoy some more reminiscing of what an amazing man our dad was and to celebrate the life he lived.  Beverages and food will be provided, but feel free to bring something stronger if you would like.  If you need their address, please email us at tlbrogan@gmail.com or torycarey11@yahoo.com.

New update, but still....Please Email Only

Please continue to respect our wishes of maintaining communication via email.

We wanted to let everyone know that this morning our father passed away.  The last day had been very peaceful and he went with the love of his life by his side.  Thank you for the prayers and thoughts you have given our family over the last 5.5 years.  Please continue to have us in your thoughts as we remember the amazing husband, father, son, brother and friend that he was.  He will continue to live on in our stories and memories. :)

Memorial Service is pending.  We will post it up here the second we know and it will also appear in the obituaries. 

Email only please

Hi everyone.  Right now they are working really hard to get my dad's pain under control.  At this time we would all appreciate holding off on phone calls and visits.  Family is even limiting their time right now while they try to figure out how to help dad's pain.  Please respect this and refrain from contacting them.  Email is amazing because it lets them know you care, but doesn't cause any stress.  Jeff, we so appreciated your comment and shared it with dad.  Thank you.
